Yes, a lot of these people are monsters. The actions they choose to take, however horrible, are outside our control - but things done by those in uniform, in our name - and, let's not forget, for the sake of the selfish ambition of an irresponsible cadre of politicians! - are not.
Your 'other half of the equation' is the fluff text in a word problem - context completely aside from the decision.
Basic human fucking decency is something owed by one party, not to the other. What they've done, whether they deserve it, is entirely irrelevant.
If a guilty man walks free because of it, then no matter what he did or what he will do, I really can't think of a more justified risk to take.
As to my position on prayer... the belief in divinity is the delusion that the universe gives a flying fuck.
Ja, -n
